Its understandable that the name of the class of psychiatric medication can make you think it's going to serve only a specific function. But it's not so, antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers all have multiple indications in psychiatry. Its only the combination that suits the patient which counts. Here a low dose antipsychotic 0.25 mg serenace (haloperidol) has an indication for usage in anxiety disorders as well. It is evidence based. So do not stop. Very good of you for asking and clarifying before making a decision based on internet information.

In low doses serenace acts on anxiety and depression, so do not make your own changes, consult your or any psychiatrist before dose changes. Good luck.
